Got an email kicked back from Amy Wolf, who was Sunset Magazine's travel editor, which said:
I'm no longer working at Sunset. For travel-related matters please get in touch with [Features Editor] Christine Richard.


Another email kick-back was passed on to me by Susan Gordon, this one from Los Angeles Magazine (although we already reported Margot's departure):
Margot Dougherty is no longer with Los Angeles magazine. She can be reached via me.com at margotdougherty.
